For these ideas I wanted to reduce the number of people on stage as I wanted to create more space physically as well as spacial energy with the audience. Also considering the style of choreography I created, I don't believe having many people on stage would have the same intimate, atmospheric affect I was trying to create.

1. Main facts and figures

there were 663,036 arrests between April 2021 and March 2022 - up by almost 18,000 compared to the previous year

black people were 2.4 times as likely to be arrested as white people - there were 21.2 arrests for every 1,000 black people, and 9.0 arrests for every 1,000 white people

overall, men were 6 times as likely to be arrested as women - there were 19.2 arrests for every 1,000 men, and 3.2 arrests for every 1,000 women

black men were over 2.5 times as likely to be arrested as white men - there were 39.9 arrests for every 1,000 black men, and 15.4 arrests for every 1,000 white men

2. Things you need to know

What the data measures

This data measures the number of arrests for 'notifiable offences' - offences for which the police must complete a crime report.

Rates of arrest per 1,000 people are rounded to 1 decimal place.

Unrounded data was used to work out arrest rates and differences between ethnic groups

Not included in the data

The City of London police force area has been excluded due to the small number of people living in the area compared with those who visit.

How arrest rates are calculated

The arrest rate is the number of people arrested from a particular ethnic group out of every 1,000 people from the same group.

The ethnic groups used in the data

Data from April 2020 to March 2022 uses the 19 ethnic groups from the 2021 Census.

A person gives their ethnicity at the time of arrest. Where ethnicity is not given, it is shown as 'unknown' in the tables. Ethnicity was not given for 15.3% of arrests that took place between April 2021 and March 2022.

In the 15 years to March 2022, the percentage of people arrested whose ethnicity was not known has varied. It was lowest (2%) in the years between 2008 and 2014, and highest (15%) between 2019 and 2022.

Methodology

Read the detailed methodology document for the data on this page.

Data over time is shown from April 2020 to March 2022, using population figures from the 2021 Census to calculate arrest rates. This data is not comparable with previous years' data, which is calculated using population rates from previous censuses.

A person arrested in a particular area may not necessarily live in that area. Population estimates for police force areas are based on permanent residents of that area as reported in the 2021 Census. Read more about problems using Census data to work out rates.

We use 'relative likelihoods' in the data to make comparisons, for example 'black people were over 3 times as likely to be arrested as white people'. You can read more about using relative likelihoods to compare ethnic disparities.

A person arrested for a notifiable offence is counted each time they are arrested. This is as long as the offence is not related to one that happened earlier in the same financial year (April to March). If it is connected, or if a person has been arrested for more than one notifiable offence on the same occasion, the offence with the highest maximum penalty is recorded.

Someone who is arrested is usually asked for their ethnicity. The circumstances of an arrest may affect the accuracy of this information.

Summary of Arrests By ethnicity Summary

The data shows that, in the year to March 2022:

there were 663,036 arrests in England and Wales - a rate of 11.1 arrests per 1,000 people

the arrest rate for black people was 2.4 times higher than for white people - there were 21.2 arrests for every 1,000 black people, and 9.0 arrests for every 1,000 white people

the arrest rate for people with mixed ethnicity was 1.3 times higher than for white people - there were 11.7 arrests for every 1,000 people with mixed ethnicity

people from Asian (7.6 arrests for every 1,000 people) and 'other' (7.8 arrests) ethnic backgrounds were arrested at lower rates than white people

Summary of Arrests By ethnicity over time Summary

The data shows that, in the 2 years to March 2022:

the overall arrest rate in England and Wales stayed the same at around 11 arrests for every 1,000 people, and the number of arrests went up by around 18,000

the arrest rate for black people went down from 22.5 to 21.2 arrests for every 1,000 people

the arrest rates for white people (around 9 arrests for every 1,000 people) and the Asian and 'other' (both around 8 arrests for every 1,000 people) ethnic groups stayed the same

Summary of Arrests By ethnicity and area Summary

The data shows that:

black people had the highest arrest rate in every police force area except for the West Midlands, where people with mixed ethnicity had a similar arrest rate

the biggest difference in the arrest rates between black people and white people was in Dorset, where black people were 8.2 times as likely to be arrested as white people

in 9 police force areas, Asian people had a higher arrest rate than white people - in 33 police force areas, the rate was lower or the same

in 31 police force areas, the mixed ethnic group had a higher arrest rate than the white ethnic group - in 12 police force areas, the rate was lower

in the Metropolitan Police force area, 54% of people arrested whose ethnicity was known were from the Asian, black, mixed and 'other' ethnic groups combined - the highest percentage out of all police force areas

differences in the arrest rates in England and Wales in part reflect population differences in those areas - for example, many more people from the Asian, black, mixed and 'other' ethnic groups live in London than in North Wales

in London, there were 13.3 arrests for every 1,000 people from ethnic minorities, compared with 9.6 arrests for every 1,000 white people

Humberside had the highest overall arrest rate, with 22.5 arrests for every 1,000 people

the police forces with the lowest overall arrest rates were Dorset (6.7 arrests for every 1,000 people), Gloucestershire (7.2), Staffordshire (7.0) and Surrey (7.2)

Summary of Arrests By ethnicity and sex Summary

The data shows that:

there were 19.2 arrests for every 1,000 men, and 3.2 arrests for every 1,000 women

black men were over 2.5 times as likely to be arrested as white men - there were 39.9 arrests for every 1,000 black men, and 15.4 arrests for every 1,000 white men

black women were 1.5 times as likely to be arrested as white women - there were 4.2 arrests for every 1,000 black women, and 2.8 arrests for every 1,000 white women

in the Asian ethnic group, men were 11 times as likely to be arrested as women - there were 14.1 arrests for every 1,000 men, and 1.3 arrests for every 1,000 women, the biggest gap between men and women from the same ethnic group

Figures on arrests and stop and search reported to the Home Office are used to create greater transparency in the use of police powers in England and Wales. They enhance accountability by enabling the public to monitor police forces at a national and local level.

The data is used to form a national picture of the trends in arrests and stop and search. It informs discussions about crime, policing and criminal justice in government and academia, and ensures the public are accurately informed.
